When I was writing that story it was all done by hand in spiral notebooks, including the research...which was all over the map. This was before I discovered Google Docs. (I was very new to using a laptop)
Catharsis is a good thing, and glad your writing helped you through the rough times.
I was writing a fairly long story when my dad was put in hospice, and my brother was acting like a jerk. He said a lot of hurtful things to me. Heck he was there with dad in Fla. and I was in NJ...a little hard for me to do things.
My brother suffered a heart attack on the way to hospice and was medevaced to the hospital (he was a heavy smoker) and dad died that night, it was as if he knew my brother wasn't there and was waiting for that so he could pass. ( my brother had been with him every day)
Writing that story helped me get through all that emotion and turmoil. At one point I was awake for 36 hours and didn't stop writing. Focusing helped keep me from losing it.
